A Swedish arts organisation, Share Music Sweden, dedicated to enabling artists to appear on stage equally and regardless of their physical abilities or differences, are to perform at the City of London Festival.
Dawn at Galamanta – created and performed by disabled and non-disabled artists – receives its UK première at the Guildhall on 6 July at the Festival’s Golden Jubilee. It brings together the internationally renowned trombonist, composer and conductor Christian Lindberg, the Swedish Wind Ensemble and the choreographer Helene Karabuda.
A tale of love, betrayal and murder set in the mythical town of Galamanta, Dawn at Galamanta is also a London 2012 Cultural Olympiad event. The performance is part of the Cultural Olympiad – the largest cultural celebration in the history of the modern Olympic and Paralympic Movements.
Share Music will take part in the Level Playing Field Symposium at the Guildhall Livery Hall on 7 July to discuss the development of musical opportunities, aesthetics and instrument technology for musicians of all physical abilities. The Level Playing Field Symposium is part of the City of London Festival.
